Floating projects for self-construction. Floating pontoon house cottage on the water. Steel pontoon is always bad

Floating house "Edem" is a comfortable house with an area of ​​20 m², which has: two separate cabins, a kitchen-bar, a bathroom; in the stern, under a rigid awning, there is an open terrace - a platform (6.2 m²), where a dining room can be placed. The entrance to the living quarters in the stern is through the sliding door on sp. 10 and in the nose - through a sliding door-hatch on the frontal wall of the cottage.

Construction of a floating ship

The floating cottage is built of wood. Waterproof plywood, pine slats, fiberglass, epoxy and fasteners should be purchased based on the specification and shop drawings. The construction of buildings is no different from the traditional process, repeatedly described in "KiYa".

Using the table of plasma ordinates, draw all the frames in full size. Semi-frame frames are made - two sets for both boats (they are the same, PB and LB are symmetrical).

Table of space ordinates for the construction of hulls of the floating ship "Edem"

The slipway for assembling the catamaran with the keel up consists of two planed beams set to the horizon, at a distance from one another (along the axes) of 2600 mm. Cross beams (det. 5) are installed according to the markings at a height from the slipway indicated in the table, and are mounted on strong racks. They are placed on them, and after checking the perpendicularity and verticality of all structural elements, frames are attached; put up books.

Longitudinal connections are cut into frames and beams, after fixing them and drying, the exposed set is reduced. Now the hulls and the bridge can be sewn up with plywood. The sewing is done on glue with screws (along the frames) and nails in a bend (along the stiffeners).

The hulls and the bottom of the bridge are pasted over with fiberglass in several layers, after drying and stripping, they are painted.

Only after that, the catamaran can be carefully (until the deck is sewn up) turned over to set it on the horizon, remove the wane in the hulls and paint it with waterproof paint from the inside. The bridge is filled along the entire height of the cross beams with lightweight foam.

The bridge is covered with plywood. Deck holes are cut out (350-450 mm. 8 pcs.), coamings and hatches are installed. It is better to assemble the side walls of the superstructure, bulkheads and the roof into volume - in the form of separate sections, immediately rivet the stiffeners and cut out the windows.

The front wall of the superstructure must be bent along a radius of 2060 mm and fixed on a strapping previously glued from flat rails (curved along the same radius), then you can install a strapping for the door and windows.

The drum of the bathroom enclosure is placed at a distance from the deck to the roof. Reinforcements are installed under the units of the utility block and sofas, which must be made folding so that access to the hatches in the buildings is opened.

Of course, you can assemble the superstructure in another way - expose the frame and then sew it up with separate sheets of plywood.

It remains to install glazing, hang doors, mount hatches and railings (pipe, stainless steel). Flat tanks with drinking and technical water can be placed on the roof, in front of sp. 5.

Then they mount the remote control of the motors and navigation lights.

Yuri Zimin, master of sports, "Boats and yachts", 2004, No. 01 (188).

The project of this floating cottage based on a 9.5-meter jet boat with simplified contours, developed by Ya. Kobachevsky. He also built a solid hull with double diagonal planking of pine boards, lined on the outside with 3 mm sheets of AMg-3 alloy. finish building floating house happened to me. This task was complicated by the fact that after the death of the designer, all the sketches and diagrams he had made were lost.

To some extent, the vessel is similar to the Beryozka, the project of which was published in the third issue of Boats and Yachts (1964), but, as it turned out, the hull was designed long before the release of the collection, but during the completion and equipment of the Yanta information from "KiYa" and all available materials were widely used.

An anchor chain 20 m long and two are stored in the forepeak. In the bow there is a "veranda" with two sofa-lockers on the sides, covered with a light duralumin awning of two halves connected on a piano hinge.

The superstructure has dimensions in terms of 5.0X3.0 m. Its walls and roof are made of bakelized plywood 10 mm thick; the roof is covered with epoxy resin. Wall height 1100 mm. Since the horizontal flooring (floor) is lowered below the deck (300 mm from the OL), the height of the rooms turned out to be 1800 mm. For thermal insulation, a layer of foam is laid along the walls and ceiling. The inner lining is made of mahogany decorative plywood and plastic with layouts along the beams. The side windows of the salon are made according to the type of trolleybus windows with sliding windows, the front viewing windows are made of plexiglass.

The aft cabin, separated from the salon by a sliding metal door, is equipped with built-in wardrobes for various purposes, hangers and shelves. There is also a kitchen table with shelves, a gas stove and a sink-sink, into which hot and cold water is supplied. Nearby is a combined bathroom - shower and latrine.

In the stern - in the engine compartment - a 45-horsepower Skoda 1201 automobile engine is installed with an additional casing on the exhaust manifold for heating water. Two gas tanks with a capacity of 80 liters are suspended below deck; canisters and an inflatable boat - a tuzik are also placed here. The deck of the Yanta is covered with corrugated rubber mats on glyptal varnish.

The driver's post is located on the port side in the bow saloon, near the front glass. Above the driver's head is a Plexiglas skylight.

For two years, in winter and summer, the whole family worked with great enthusiasm on the completion and equipment of the floating dacha. And then came the long-awaited moment of the first entry of "Yanta" into the voyage. What can be said in general about our vessel? This is a reliable and comfortable houseboat. Due to the high cabin, Yanta has a large windage, so the speed is directly dependent on the strength and direction of the wind and ranges from 15 to 20 km / h. Large weight causes significant inertia. It was also necessary to get used to the peculiarities of controlling the vessel due to the reaction of the jet of the water cannon.

A house on the water is usually built near the shore. If it is planned to build such an unusual house within the city, then the future homeowner will certainly need to conclude a contract for the lease of the site. After obtaining numerous necessary permits, you can safely deploy the construction of a landing stage. Now we will try to figure out how to build a house on the water, since this is far from an easy task.

The project is a very important moment of construction. It is necessary to correctly perform all preliminary calculations regarding the size and carrying capacity of the structure, since the house must be a safe home for living people and in no case be a hindrance to ships and other floating facilities. In addition to the architect, a specialist from the Department of Shipping should be involved in the development of the project, since it is this Department that strictly controls the construction of the landing stage.

Foundation

The foundation in this case will be a conditional concept. A houseboat is usually installed on a pontoon. A pontoon is a kind of floating platform made of steel, plastic, wood or reinforced concrete. Modular plastic pontoons are often used as a pier or for light construction of small sizes, for example, gazebos.

Network engineering

Before the start of construction, after the development of the project, it is necessary to carry out the necessary urban communication engineering networks such as sewage system, water pipeline, electricity and others.

If the house under construction is located far from the city power grid, then autonomous energy supply (diesel generator, wind energy, solar energy) may well help out. Installed windmills and solar collectors can eliminate problems with electricity, and the latter will also help solve issues with hot water.

You can provide the landing stage with water from a drilled well located near the house on the shore, then you will have to apply to the Environmental Protection Agency for a special permit. This problem is also perfectly solved with the help of an on-board system for collecting, cleaning and supplying water directly from the reservoir.

With sewerage, things are a little more complicated. In addition to connecting the house to the sewer located on the shore, you can additionally install a cistern for the accumulation and storage of wastewater or connect to the coastal storm sewer system. As an option, it is possible to connect the landing stage to the wastewater treatment and disinfection system, followed by irrigation of the nearby area or discharge into a reservoir. Well-treated wastewater is used for watering plants, and when it enters a reservoir, biologically purified and oxygenated water will perfectly contribute to the natural process of post-treatment of the reservoir.

The biological treatment system has one significant drawback - it is an expensive option, but it is environmentally friendly and most economical.

As technical water, you can use water from:

• onshore well;
• urban system;
• reservoir (subject to availability of filters).

To create all the engineering systems of a house on the water, a serious professional approach will be required.

Construction

A fully equipped and safe house on the water can only be built by professional construction companies with a special license.

The house itself, on a ready-made foundation, can be built of wood or a light metal structure (preferably galvanized).

A variety of building materials are used to finish the facade:

• fake diamond;
• tree;
• siding (vinyl, wood, steel).

All building materials must be certified.

If it is planned to build a wooden house, then the wood must be treated with a fire retardant and an antiseptic.

So that the house does not heel from gusts of wind, even at the design stage it is very important to perform calculations to increase the stability of the structure.

After the construction of the landing stage is completed, there will still be a lot of trouble for its design, because the owner of the house actually becomes the shipowner. The lucky owner of the landing stage is waiting for the following additional stages:

• obtaining documents for the right of ownership;
• examination;
• commissioning (fire and sanitary and epidemiological inspection);
• getting a number;
• obtaining permission for mooring;
• home insurance (optional).

The owner will not be able to register in the dwelling, since the house on the water will be documented as a floating craft.

True, this does not stop everyone who wants to have such an unusual, exotic home that is not inferior in comfort to standard housing.

Chapter 1.3. Floating cottages

Vessels of this type (Table 1.7) mainly include comfortable structures with full-height rooms, a spacious deck, and equipment necessary for a long rest. Mostly these are low-speed vessels, which is due to their significant windage and relatively low power of the installed engines. The navigation area of ​​floating dachas is usually limited to inland waterways with access to open water areas in calm weather. Floating cottages are used for sailing short distances with long stays in bays sheltered from waves.

Table 1.7. Characteristics of floating cottages

It is planned to expand the area of ​​use of floating dachas by increasing their seaworthiness, creating lightweight structures that make it possible, under certain conditions, to develop speeds corresponding to the gliding regime. Abroad, particular interest in ships of this type is manifested in countries where water tourism is associated with access to the coastal areas of the seas.

To ensure the stability required by operating conditions, floating cottages have a large width, a flat or low deadrise bottom; catamaran structures are often used.

"Cinderella" (Fig. 1.37) - a floating cottage catamaran, designed by V. B. Osipchuk with the expectation of an individual building (about the independent construction of the Cinderella floating house). Despite the minimum dimensions for this type of vessels, it fully corresponds to its purpose. In a cabin designed for a crew of 2-3 people. (family option), two sofas are installed. The third bed is a hanging bunk. The sofa on the port side is transformed into a dining area, consisting of a folding table and two upholstered seats. The height of the cabin from the deck to the ceiling is 1.73 m. The steering is located in the bow on the starboard side. The helmsman's seat is formed by transferring the front cushion of the sofa to the middle one. A gas stove is suspended above the aft part of the right sofa; in good weather, it is taken out into the cockpit.

The small area at the ends of the floating dacha is compensated by a roof extended by a canopy, which can be used as a solarium in the parking lot.

Floating houses have been known for a long time. Even more than a hundred years ago, in the capital of the Indian state of Kashmir, the city of Srinagar, a whole floating city appeared on the water. The local maharaja forbade the sale of land to foreigners for the construction of houses. Then the British (India was a British colony), who loved to relax in these places, began to build houseboats on the picturesque Dal Lake. Today, there are thousands of houseboats on Dal Lake: temples, palaces, hotels, shops, mansions. Houseboats are also common in Canada, USA, Finland, Sweden, Germany, UK, France and of course Holland. In total, there are about ten thousand houseboats in Holland. More than two and a half thousand families live in houseboats alone on the canals of Amsterdam. Not far from Amsterdam, the modern area of ​​houseboats Iburg is famous. Near St. Petersburg, houseboats are rented out in Toksovo (Lake Khepojärvi, Eagle Mountain).

Houseboats are de jure watercraft and allow their owners to save on property taxes, do not require a building permit and, upon receipt of the appropriate permit (parking lease), can be located even in the historical center of the ancient city. In Russian conditions, a houseboat can rather be used as a dacha or a commercial facility - part of a campsite or a recreation center. An individual dacha in the form of a floating house in Russia will be safe to use, perhaps, only on small closed reservoirs - lakes, from where it will be impossible to steal your floating dacha by towing it. Also, a houseboat can be safely placed in marinas.

From the point of view of Russian legislation, a houseboat is a small non-self-propelled vessel if its length does not exceed 20 meters and the passenger capacity (in terms of the number of sleeping places) does not exceed 12 people. A small vessel - a houseboat will have to be registered with the GIMS (State Inspectorate of Small Vessels) and regularly undergo technical inspection (you can probably guess how technical inspection is usually done). To register a houseboat, you will need a contract of sale, a technical passport, an identity card of the owner, TIN, and a receipt for payment of state duty proportional to the type of vessel. After registering a houseboat in GIMS, you will have to receive a ship's ticket. The ship's ticket certifies the right of the houseboat to raise the State Flag of the Russian Federation, certifies the ownership of the houseboat by the right of ownership to the shipowner indicated in it and the capacity of the houseboat. A notarized copy of the ship's ticket must be on board your houseboat.

Since your houseboat is a small boat, you can moor it in any place where parking is not prohibited and your houseboat will not interfere with navigation. But soon, your houseboat, of course, will be of interest to local officials and all kinds of controllers and inspectors, with whom our Great Motherland abounds in great numbers. In order not to explain to unexpected visitors the basics of maritime and river law every time, it may be easier for you to conclude a water use agreement for 20 years with the local administration on the basis of Chapter 3 of the Water Code of the Russian Federation (FZ No. 74 of 06/03/2006). Articles 11.1 and 11.2 of Chapter 3 of the Water Code allow the provision of the water area for use for recreational purposes, in particular for the creation of stationary and (or) floating platforms on lands covered with surface waters. You will also have to pay transport tax, which will be calculated based on the volume of your houseboat (1 reg. t = 2.83 cubic meters).
